Campana, a bell, it will be remembered, is the 
word on which Campanula is founded. 
This showy Campanula, so common as it is found 
in Siberia, may, doubtless, be naturalized in our 
own country. It is biennial, and although we have 
never observed it spring from self-sown seeds, it is 
quite certain that it will do so, and may perpetuate 
its species on hedge banks, and similar places, as 
successfully as its ally, the Campanula patula. 
This Campanula, like some others of its near re- 
lations, does not always flower in the first year after 
propagation, it must, notwithstanding this, be con- 
sidered strictly a biennial ; for after flowering, it 
never survives to flower a second time. So it is 
with many perennial plants of tender habit; they 
bear any common degree of temperature before 
flowering, but subsequently, unless divided, or re- 
produced from cuttings or offsets, they are liable 
to be lost. This should be borne in mind, by those 
who have the care of valuable half-hardy exotics. 
Seeds should be sown in spring, and plants may 
remain for flowering where raised, or be trans- 
planted in autumn.
